Its just another way of making sure we women know someone will always be judging us for the way we look.

Sadly, this thread was apparently started by a woman who wants to criticise other women for what they wear.

Yeah that's the kind of thing I was thinking about. Although the one I've got pictured in my head is black with white ribs.

That was my immediate image too on mention of a rib t-shirt

I suppose its a good pun on ribbed cotton. I have a weakness for puns.

That it can look good on the right sort of women.

I think that's a bit harsh.
As women we have a much wider variety of styles & types of clothes available to us than men have. But there is an age appropriate rule that's not always applied by the wearer.
I have a beige cardi but in no way did I feel the OP was referring to me when she said beige cardi brigade. Mine is a trendy chunky Arran style one that looks great with skinny jeans & a cami/vest/T.
Anyway there are "rules" about what's ok at what age.

I've always, always loved the "cute ditsy dress with biker boots" look. Unfortunately, I have also never had the body for it! So I mainly dress in short dresses over jeans, and *gasp* a cardy over the top.
I did wear purple dr martens all through my teens though. That was my super rebel phase...:cool: I couldn't care less what people wear. Although I have a particular dislike for the trashy "short skirt/overflowing cleavage" look.

And I hate, HATE "comedy" underwear on guys (Bart Simpson kind of stuff).

I hate mixed styles like that. I've been told my look is sexy/smart/stylish. If I wore a ditsy dress it would be with pretty shoes.
I hate black & navy being mixed......

Regardless of the age thing, I just find it amusing that the OP feels a tutu is somehow less of an issue than a beige cardi. :D

*goes off to wear my beige with pride* :rotfl:

I loved mixed styles. Practically I often wear boots at home, but usually muckers :eek: they aren't very cheerful. But I cannot see them under the long stained evening dresses I often sport, No good for functions, fine for feeding chickens or swanning around the garden. I hitch them up a bit so the hem doesn't get too wet and muddy. So what if I have to wear a big coat over the top to keep warm, I'm still happy I dressed like an eccentric scarecrow!

, I wouldn't chose to impose that in a different setting.

It means don't wear hooker gear when you're 8 and don't wear 8 year olds styles when you're old enough to know better.
